I can’t believe it’s the last day of 2018!!! Came across this video which I made in June just around the time I got intense with blogging. The irony is, the space in which I sat was my office space I got at Osu R.E.(one of the most robust areas in Ghana) for my web and digital marketing business. It was difficult starting it. Broke my piggy bank and sold a few things including my car to get it running. I was determined! I was excited! I literally could smell success! When Host Gold Co.Ltd officially started in November 2017 as a registered company, I had clients including government organizations. I was happy, I thought I was there. I poured so much of myself into that business . Didn’t have time for anything else but for some reason, blogging was not one of them. However, I was stressed most of the time despite the ‘success’ especially dealing with the government. And probably by beginners lack , things were great with the business until it wasn’t too great. I wish I could explain but really , I can’t. The business wasn’t doing too well..needed clients to keep it running but they weren’t coming in. Was running at a loss and was getting difficult keeping the place. Had to move out of that office space to work at home. It was then that I got even more serious with blogging. But within these few months that I’ve been serious with my blogging and being consistent with it, it has opened me up to a beautiful world I didn’t know existed before. Has given me the opportunity to meet you awesome people. Because of the ‘failing’ of my business I devoted more time to you and to my one true passion. Even though it’s been a tough year, I’m grateful for how far God has brought me. I’m by far happier now than I was running the business. And’ve learnt big lessons which I want to share with you this year.

Sometimes, God shuts the door to places we exert our efforts so that he can open doors where our efforts will be more meaningful and purposed to be.

Chasing success is not life but chasing passion will bring you success while all you wanted was to smile.

It’s important to listen to your heart because your heart could stop beating any day.

But in entirety, this year has been good. I got relief from anxiety I had for 6years. I tear up at this moment because I know that this is not just a goodbye to 2018, but it’s a goodbye to a big part of myself. I realize that I can’t keep holding on with my fists clinched when I’m destined to embrace in LOVE; the only true weapon that can change my world. I can’t keep thinking the same way….I can’t keep believing in the same things….I can’t be afraid…I can’t continue to want….I can’t continue to live in 2018. I need to wave goodbye at a big part of me to make room for a bigger part of me. The new ‘me’ that can actually make a change.
